I found a copy of 1054 in a file cabinet in my mother's basement. SAMS was wrong about the runs. The other set should cover this. My set has a "color fidelity" control, which alters the grey scale (located in front). 1054 does not show this control, the other should.
Anyhoo, I found the problem (under my nose). The delay line WAS bad. Apparently a few windings were shorted. It went open circuit tonight. I put a cap (1.0 uf mylar) temporarily and that solved the problem. A brightness issue was also solved by this. I am kicking myself for overlooking the delay line, since the only one I ever replaced was a broken one. Pics will be posted here and on my website. I'm putting it back together tomorrow (paid holiday).
My thanks to bgadow for sending the prints. I'll get 1081 copied and get them back to you ASAP.
I know my temporary repair was not the smartest thing to do, but it'll do for now. I have some junk chassis in my mother's basement, so I'll salvage a delay line next time I'm there. Now, I only have one image of Archie yelling at Meathead instead of two.
Have a nice New Year, everyone.
